Out of the Box with Number Twelve

In honour of our 3rd page being almost full, we thought it'd be nice to post "Where the Circuits Meet the Spell" and subsequent remixes as a nice closing piece for this 3rd page.
Our fourth page is starting up here: @archmageband4

Made for our open collab "Where the Circuits Meet the Spell" combining the fun and cool jam contributions of both John Musichead and noxpox - but arranged by us to form one complete  song.

Thank you so much for this awesome cyberpunk-mood spin on our track, John, and for weaving that amazing arcane synth soundscape, noxpox - it's been so much fun to compose with you two!

What's The Password? You Gotta Tell Me — It's The Name Of A Fish

Another Acoustic version of one of my Christmas songs.  
Recorded in one take with just my vocals and Guitar 
(Capo on the third fret on my Taylor 114ce)
***
Verse 1
I was sitting on the sofa on Christmas Eve
Enjoying the Christmas tree lights
A cup of spiced egg nog in my hand
Everything was feeling alright.
And then I heard something rustling
Inside the Christmas tree
And I saw a furry tail
Waving back at me.
Verse 2
And then it turned around and stared at me
With two little yellow eyes
And I realized I was having
A special Christmas surprise
Chorus
There’s a critter in the Christmas Tree
Santa brought a little surprise for me
If I don’t get that creature out of my home
I’m gonna be spending my Christmas alone
Maybe I could eat for my Christmas feast
But I think a better option is to catch and release
Verse 3
I approached the Christmas tree
And I realized he was no longer there
I searched the entire house
I couldn’t find him anywhere
Chorus
There’s a critter in the Christmas Tree
Santa brought a little surprise for me
If I don’t get that creature out of my home
I’m gonna be spending my Christmas alone
Bridge
So I decided not to worry
And have Christmas at my house anyway
I convinced myself he was a gift from Santa
And everything would be okay
Verse 4
Lucky for me Christmas went perfectly this year
Without a hitch
Now every night I leave a bowl of water
And some carrots and some tuna fish
Every morning when I wake up
The food put out is gone
And sometimes I see cute little footprints
Out there on the front lawn.
Verse 5
I think he comes down the Chimney
The same way Santa does
Cause in the bottom of the fireplace
Sometimes I see bits of fur and fuzz
Final Chorus
There was a critter in my Christmas Tree
Santa brought a little surprise for me
Now when I’m sitting by myself at home
Thanks to Santa I never feel alone
There was a critter in my Christmas Tree
Santa brought a little surprise for me
Now when I’m sitting by myself at home
Thanks to Santa I never feel alone

Critter in the Christmas Tree (Acoustic)

Love Is All You Need - And An Elephant On Piano In A Box (Mashed Up Live)

I got nostalgic about an old collaboration track I made with a music buddy back in the day, and now I feel like bringing it back and sharing it again.
I wonder if he's still out there doing well and making music…

I know you used me
All the lies you told
You wanna abuse me

Confuse me

Deceive me
I know you're going to

In This Broken World — DREAM

"Whatever It Takes" is a narrative concept album based on the true story of the 2019 eBay cyberstalking scandal - when a Fortune 500 company's security team launched a coordinated terror campaign against two bloggers who wrote critical coverage.

Ina and David Steiner ran EcommerceBytes, a small newsletter covering e-commerce from their home in Natick, Massachusetts. When Ina wrote about CEO Devin Wenig's compensation, he texted his Chief Communications Officer Steve Wymer: "If we are ever going to take her down..now is the time."

Wymer's responses became evidence:

> We are going to crush this lady
> She is biased troll who needs to get BURNED DOWN
> I want to see ashes. As long as it takes. Whatever it takes.

What followed was a "campaign of terror" - seven eBay security employees (including former police captains) sent bloody pig masks, a preserved fetal pig, live cockroaches and spiders, a funeral wreath, a book about surviving the death of a spouse, and porn magazines to the couple. They posted Craigslist ads inviting strangers to the Steiners' home. They flew from California to Boston to stalk their car and planned to break into their garage to plant a GPS tracker. They carried fake "Person of Interest" documents. One even pretended to rescue them - the "White Knight Strategy."

David photographed a license plate. The FBI got involved. All seven employees were convicted.

But the executives who gave the orders? The CEO walked away with $57 million in severance. Never charged.

This is a story about corporate power, surveillance turned against citizens, and the two-tier justice system.

Brain Hop

Brain Hop is a musical genre invented by the artist fictionalive on Monday, December 1st, 2025, at 1:24 PM. The genre seeks to bring depth, intellect, and philosophical reflection into (hip-hop) music, emphasizing thoughtful lyricism and cognitive engagement. Brain Hop differentiates itself from mainstream (hip-hop) by prioritizing meaningful content, complex themes, and a cerebral approach to rhythm and rhyme.

The creation of Brain Hop responds to criticisms that contemporary (hip-hop) often lacks intellectual depth. It aims to provide an artistic space where artists explore profound social, political, and existential issues through innovative beats and poetic lyrics. Brain Hop is positioned as part of a movement to elevate (hip-hop) culture into new territories of artistic and cultural significance.

As of its inception, Brain Hop is recognized as an emerging genre within underground and alternative music scenes, promising to attract listeners and creators who value music that stimulates both mind and soul.
